Jesus on skis

Our pastor had been preaching, for several weeks now, about getting in the presence of the Lord. This Sunday in particular he was teaching about a friendship mentality with the Lord and about how easy it is to get into the presence when you consider Jesus your friend. There is no formula, no set of special rules, no atmospheric requirements. You just say, here I am friend. So...that afternoon as I was laying down to take a nap I decided to give it a shot. I took a deep breath and as I exhaled I softly said... ahhh... Jesus. And sure enough, He was there. I took this opportunity to ask Him what He had to tell me about our church. And this is what He showed me:

I saw a double barrel ski jump. The kind like in the winter Olympics, I guess it is the long jump. If you were looking straight at the ramp, Jesus was on the left and David (pastor) was on the right. They flew down the ramp together in perfect synchronization and launched off both with big smiles on their faces.

Then He said, as a church, we are going to fly with GRACE & PRECISION!
